It is still totally intact except for the stern end, which is very smashed up, apparently where a number of the depth charges exploded on or close to the boat. The hatches are still sealed and the twin steel screws are there, with the maker’s marks embossed on them. The hull and conning tower have a covering of soft corals but the conning tower is also draped with a trawl net. Anyone visiting this wreck should remember that it is a war grave and that entering the boat would be both wrong and a criminal offence. The Gudveig was a steel-hulled 1307-ton Norwegian steam cargo ship measuring 73.60 m in length, with an 11.04-m beam and a 4.95-m draught. Odense Staalskibsvft.

Moller was the manager. A. P. Moller became the manager in 1925. From 1935, Dampskipsselskapet Aktieselskapet Gudvin at Oslo in Norway was the registered owner and she was renamed Gudveig; H. Gjerpen was the manager. The single steel screw was powered by a 106-nhp three-cylinder triple expansion steam engine that used one boiler and gave 9.5 knots.
